Energy Insecurity is a Major Threat to Child Health

August 2 was National Fuel Funds Network LIHEAP Action Day in Washington D.C. Advocates from across the country met with Congressional Staffers to discuss the importance of full funding for LIHEAP. Make sure your voice is heard.

Message for conservatives: Want to reduce costly taxpayer paid emergency room visits of uninsured and under insured children? Support full funding for LIHEAP!

According to Children's HeathWatch, young children in energy insecure homes are at high risk for food insecurity, poor health, hospitalizations, and developmental delays.
